Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's question. I thank him for that.
I am new to the House, but in 18 months I have spent time interacting with a number of organizations and quickly gained experience during the consultations we held across the country.
I also want to say to my colleague opposite that there are people in my family who have been living with autism spectrum disorder for 16 years. It is something we talk about at the dinner table quite regularly. We have acquired rather detailed knowledge thanks to all the organizations we consulted.
I am very comfortable advocating for disability as a collective priority and drafting legislation that takes persons with autism into account.
